Some forecasts according to the characteristics of 65 NM four core processors opteron from generation barcelona (K8L) already appeared.
We accurately determined the characteristics of processors barcelona, since yesterday appeared data from official roadmap, which describe the technical characteristics of data processors. We already noted that the desktop four core processor processors K8L can reach the frequency of 2.9 GHz with the appropriate increase in the TDP value ; however, for servers processors of this generation it was decided to preserve more conservative frequencies - not more than 2.6 GHz.
Furthermore, in the middle of 2007 AMD do not plan to release four core processors opteron generation K8L with a frequency of above 2.3 GHz. They will have TDP not more than 95 W.
Those desiring to study the characteristics of these processors can make this independently, therefore the popularity of four core processors server class among our readers is completely limited
Let us note that the processors series opteron 1xxx on core budapest socket AM2 will be released only in the fourth quarter 2007, but their announcement periods are not determined. The related desktop processors agena and Agena FX will appear in the third quarter of 2007. In contrast to processor socket F, they will support memory DDR 2-800, whereas the first will be limited to DDR 2-667. Furthermore, the hyperTransport system bus speed for Socket AM2+ and Socket AM2 will be increased to 5200 Mbit/s. The first generation of processors barcelona socket F will support only HyperTransport 1.0 (2000 Mbit/s).
as additional information let us give the boundary values of frequencies, which symbolize the change in the TDP level for the processors barcelona and Budapest:
- 2.4-2.6 GHz - > 120 W;
- 2.1-2.4 GHz - > 95 W;
- 1.9-2.0 GHz - > 68 W.
We hope that soon we will get the characteristics of desktop representatives generation K8L. Related Products :
